The University currently has a Computer Replacement Plan in place for faculty and
staff computers. Through this plan, faculty and staff receive a new computer as funds
become available and upon approval by the Department Head/Dean/Vice President.

If other technology is needed within a department in addition to a faculty or staff’s
primary computer, Computer Equipment Resales can provide assistance with pricing for
such technology equipment.

Computer Equipment Resales can be contacted by sending an e-mail to [email protected]

Various Open & Restricted Labs are available on campus for faculty, staff and student use.

Faculty/Staff

An e-mail account for all new employees is automatically generated and takes the form
of Wxxxxxxx, where xxxxxxx is the seven-digit employee identification number issued
to you by Southeastern Human Resources.

An alias consisting of the full first name and full last name, separated by a period
is also generated automatically for new employees. (e.g., John Smith’s e-mail alias
would be [email protected], unless there was already a John.Smith alias
in existence at Southeastern. In that case, the alias would be john.smith-2 or some
other string of letters or numbers.)

Students

An e-mail account for all new students is automatically generated after they have
paid fees. It takes the form of Wxxxxxxx, where xxxxxxx is the seven-digit student
identification number issued to you by Enrollment Services.

An alias consisting of the full first name and full last name, separated by a period,
is also generated. (e.g., Jane.Smith) Again, if there is already an alias Jane.Smith,
the next Jane Smith would receive Jane.Smith-2 or some other string of letters or
numbers.

Faculty

The Center for Faculty Excellence offers short courses each semester for faculty members
who are interested in getting training on various software and technology topics.

The schedule is available at the Center for Faculty Excellence (CFE) in Room 112 of
Mims Hall and on the CFE Schedule web page.

Staff

Client Services offers various short courses for staff members each semester.

Schedules are available through the Short Course Registration Page.

Call the Client Services’ Customer Service Center at Ext. 5555. You can also come
by the Customer Service Center, which is located in Room 111 of McClimans Hall. A
Customer Service Consultant will be on duty during normal working hours.

For access, complete the application form and turn into McClimans Hall, room 109. 

You can log into your e-mail account by accessing the University’s home page (www.selu.edu)
and clicking on the bottom right link entitled WebMail. You must use your W number
to access your e-mail using WebMail. The e-mail alias is not recognized by WebMail. 

First, check the status of your password. You may do so by going to the Webmail page
and clicking on the link “Account Information and Password Change for Email, Moodle and
LEONet (PeopleSoft)” or click here. If your password is expired, you can still log
in and change it by selecting the Change Password option. If you have forgotten your
password and have a challenge question set, you can click on the link “I forgot my
password!” You can then answer the question that you have set and change your password.
If you do not have a challenge question set, you will need to follow the instructions
below for the respective campus.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Your Password expires every 180 days. You will be notified
before your password expires via email at 30 days and then again at 14 days. Please
change your password when notified. When you do change your EMAIL password, your Active
Directory password will automatically be reset to the same password as your Email,
along with Moodle and LEOnet.

Hammond campus

Take your picture ID to Room 111 on the first floor of McClimans, (pronounced muh-cleye-muhns)
Hall and ask for a new e-mail password. You will need to know your e-mail account
number.

Livingston Literacy Center

Take your picture ID to the secretary and ask for a new e-mail password. You will
need to tell the secretary your e-mail account number.

A password must be at least 8 characters in length (with at least a capital letter
and one number), cannot be a word that you would find in an English dictionary (such
as “flower”), and cannot have previously been used as your e-mail password.

If your e-mail username begins with W or P, your password will expire automatically
for security reasons every 180 days. If you do not change your expired password within
a short grace period, you must follow the above procedures to obtain a new password.

First time W account users have assigned to them a pre-expired (that is, a one-time
only) password in the form of S+your birthdate in mm-dd-yyyy format. (Ex. Sxx-xx-xxxx)

There are several different computer systems used at the university. The username
may be different, but your e-mail password will allow entry for e-mail, Active Directory,
PeopleSoft and Moodle.

Move the mouse or tap the Shift key on your keyboard. Sometimes monitors are set to
“go to sleep” after a certain amount of time if the image doesn’t change.

Check to see that the power light on the front of the monitor is green. If not, your
computer or your monitor may have lost power.

If your old computer is being sent to Surplus, the software licenses can be transferred
to the new computer.

Information on Gmail usage can be found under the “Available Documents” section.
